True

Nord, Greenland is located at the very north end of Greenland. In the Winter time (December), the city does not receive sunlight throughout the day! Nord does not experience daytime in the Winter because during the Winter, the tilt of earth's axis causes the northern hemisphere to be pointed directly away from the sun 24 hours of the day.

I apologize for the incorrect response earlier.

No, John's cousin in New York would not see the same phase of the moon in China. The phases of the moon do change as the earth rotates, due to the different positions of the moon, earth, and sun. The specific phase of the moon that is visible to someone depends on their location on the earth.

Look carefully at the image below. Match the number of the moon's location to the moon phase.
